A new survey of UK radiologists finds that 100% of NHS trusts have now used pre-biopsy MRI, although variations persist in ...
Excluding systematic biopsy in favor of MRI-targeted biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels reduced the probability of detecting clinically insignificant cancers, but at ...
Microultrasonography for prostate biopsy detected clinically significant cancer at rates comparable to MRI-guided approaches. Detection rates for clinically insignificant cancers did not differ among ...
Upon reviewing repeated prostate cancer screenings, researchers observed the absence of suspicious MRI findings in over 86% of men who had prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of 3 ng/mL or higher ...
Baseline MRI PI-RADS score suggests prognosis and may improve upfront risk stratification and eligibility for prostate cancer active surveillance. Higher baseline MRI PI-RADS score is associated with ...
Nearly 67% of men with MRI-detected lesions and more than half of those with clinically significant prostate cancer had a PSA level less than 3 ng/mL, investigators reported. Using magnetic resonance ...
MRI reports and biopsy pathology reports were extracted from a cohort of 1,360,866 patients with PCa in the VA Cancer Registry System or the VA Corporate Data Warehouse, with 155,570 patients having ...
